Research in the Rotunda is a wonderful opportunity to learn about the exciting research going on throughout the state and to support Universities of Wisconsin students and faculty members who contribute to the state’s strong economic future. We are proud to showcase the research of 16 Freshwater Collaborative funded undergraduates at the 2024 event.
